I'm baaccckkkk....... (re-post from Newlyweds board)

OK...I'm back to haunt u all with my indecisiveness about my 'real' honeymoon.

we have decided to actually go somewhere new (not disney)..MEXICOOOOOO!!!!

torn between the Aventura Spa Palace (Riviera Maya) & the Dreams Los Cabos Suites (Cabo)....

has anyone gone to either? any advice? suggestions???? a gun so i can shoot myself alreadyyyyy?????

TIA!!!

Oh Congrats! You will have to let us know how you like it (and if you were ok with the non-disney trip!)

I am not sure...but I live by trip advisor..have you ever been on their website? Just keep an open mind when reading the reviews on there...people tend to write more negative things then positive!

Also can you tell me what kind of work out you do to get those killer abs!!!??!?!?!

haha....thanks! i've been looking at trip advisor alot...i try to take everything with a grain of salt. sooo hard to go by what other people say bc everyone is different! urgghh!!

as for my workout...i run alot...thats really what does it. i also do the ab roller at my gym & actually have an ab lounge at my house but i really dont know how effective they are.. i KNOW running helps though! hehe!

thanks & HTH!!!

Yeah - I am getting back in the running action again! I am a big advocate of running..think it does the best toning! For the last year I slacked off from it...just did weight training and spin...but I am back!

How much do you run? I am trying to go 2-3 times a week...once for a long run (well 3 miles, but want to get up to 5) and once or twice for like 1.5-2 miles. I definitely want to get the mileage up a bit!

OK sorry for intruding and changing the subject....but it seems quite...everyone must be sleeping! Not me, I am crazy!

hahahaa....

well i am weird...if i am running outside i usually run between 3-5 miles a day. but obviously in the winter that is not an option so i am forced to go to the gym where it is torture for me to run 3 miles. for some reason running on a treadmill in the gym is horrendous for me and i hate hate hate it!!! it tortures my soul!!!!!!!!!!!

when i only run 3 miles on the treadmill then i try to walk for 20-30 min more...at a high incline (like 11 or 12) bc thats good for your legs and butt. and if you lower your incline a little (so you can let go o the machine) and swing you arms and really work it then thats almost as good as running bc it works your abs too.

i also run a lot of 5K races (3.1 miles) during the spring & summer. it's good motivation bc if i know i have to do a race in the near future i will stick to running rather than being lazy bc of the fear of collapsing on the race course..haha.

ok...now that i just wrote a book, i'll shut up now

That is def good info! Running on the treadmill does get boring after about 3 miles! I try and speed it up to get it overwith but then I end up getting tired! Sometimes I do sprints/intervals which make the time go by!

Also I think 40+ min of cardio is goood excersize. Some people only do 20....not enough! And what pisses me off at my gym is the treadmills I like (they have fans on them) are set to 30 minutes!

Ok so good luck with the honeymoon search! I think my friends went to mexico...I have to find out where they stayed!

Congrats on picking Mexico! and I wish I had it in me to work out like the two of you.
